If you are moving to 0.25.4, read about http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3101 . 0.25.x server is compatible with 0.24.x clients If you move to 2.6.x, be aware that 2.6.0 and 2.6.1 had a lot of bugs. 2.6.x server might be compatible with 0.24.x clients. Also, as he said update the server first. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
